Honke Kikuya Nara Store

It is located on East Street at the main entrance of Nara Industrial Park. It is said to have hundreds of years of history. The baked cakes with deer patterns are generally good. Not as delicious as imagined, but good as gifts.

Kintetsu Kikuya is a Japanese confectionery shop located on East Street of Nara Industrial Park in Nara City, Nara Prefecture, Japan. It is said to have a history of three or four hundred years. Some of its confectionery are said to be the special confectionery of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The store is very Japanese-style and the confectionery is particularly exquisite, with a deer emblem on each one. You have to go early to get them, as there is a daily limit and the shop closes once they are sold out.

The shop is on the way to Todaiji Temple. It is said to be a 400-year-old confectionery shop. I went in to have a look. It is really the confectionery used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The business in the shop is very good. The good things are gone in the blink of an eye. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's pot is made of soybean powder rolled in glutinous rice flour with red beans inside. It melts in your mouth and is so delicious that it makes you cry. The Dorayaki is very crispy and not dry at all.

The food is particularly exquisite. The food is mixed with egg yolk, the egg yolk filling is rich in flavor, the surface of the fabric, the thin yellow earth color, and the chrysanthemum pattern all look delicious.

It's about 1,800 yen (tax included), which is not expensive for this old store and the taste. You don't need to make a reservation, but the food sells out very quickly, so you may not be able to buy it if you go at night. The store environment is also very elegant.
